It appears that, in infinite wisdom, Googlehave a security feature that can block an application from accessing or using your google account. I can see how this might be a problem for Google’s users, in particular theirGTalk da kuma Gmailusers. In my case it wasPidginhaving an issue with theJabber sabis (which is technically part of GTalk). I found the solution after a littledigging. I was surprised at how old the issue was and how long this feature has existed!
